Chapter 7 Organizing the Tribe

Jack was healed by the next day attributing it to the ability he cast on this character allowing the recovery rate to increase.

Jack took the hunters out every 3 days to hunt for food varying between boars and rabbits to get food for the tribe while increasing the experience of the hunters. With formal training on other days.

The occasional death due to the boars was more common as they are more aware and protecting then before with the new threat. With Jack not being able to hold off the entire hoard since, the other boar groups are larger than their first target requires the kobolds to be able to stall multiple targets long enough that they are scared off.

Jack also had to teach the kobolds tricks to catch rabbits while looking and hoping for a kobold to be able to rise above and beyond creating his own tricks.

Fashioning traps from nearby sticks and foliage allowed the hunters to catch prey without the risk of death.

Spreading the traps across multiple families of rabbits also helped speed up the hunting and lessen the deaths in a single family of rabbits allowing them to reproduce.

Holding feasts to gather faith and improve the belief that kobolds have. Feasts were something that was incorporated into the regular schedule of the tribe.

During training Jack preached how the Lord of Grass grants them improved strength with their feats of courage they show everyday which improved the kobold's belief as they were getting stronger and attributed the increase in strength to blessings even if he personally didn't bless them.

As the average length of pregnancy was 3 months for kobolds it would be a while before they gave birth but even if they had to stop working the increase in population for the tribe was a vital thing they had to rush.

A problem Jack had to consider was the weakening of the females was once they were 2 months pregnant the females would struggle to move and have to be taken care of by the males. Though Jack decided the nonhunter males would take care of the females during this period as the tribe had to gather food regularly.

As the tribe would create enough burrows for the tribe over the next 2 months the female leaders organized the burrows for different functions. Most burrows were appointed as homes for the tribe while several were set as storages for food, materials and miscellaneous.

Only two burrows that were the closest to the iron deposit were designated as smithing burrows with special holes for smoke to exit that Jack prepared for the future.

As the tribe had limited ways of storing food for long periods of time the tribe had to regularly finish the food. Though with the strong immune system of kobolds food could be eaten up to 4 days after unless there was a special circumstance.

Jack after about two weeks seeing that the tribe was organized in their daily activities gathered the fisherman who weren't as necessary since the food gathered by the hunters was enough and deciding that tools are more important.

Jack began to organize them into new groups putting 10 kobolds on mining and forging duty while, adding the 5 strongest and most courageous kobolds to the hunting group filling up the few causalities and strengthening the group. The ten kobolds in the crafting group would also have to take care of the pregnant woman while the hunters were out.

Jack had to personally teach the kobolds while the hunters were training how to craft the basic tools but, overtime they slowly remembered how even if the quality was poor. Jack hoped once the time passed the quality of these crafters would increase but he would have to wait.

Even if the iron wasn't infinite in quantity there was enough for this small tribe and it would only grow in quantity since he had time to develop the realm.

Organizing with the female leaders who were pregnant to have one of the three supervise the mining and crafting group. Ordering the other two females to lead the females to gather apple tree seeds and sticks of various sizes for the mining group and his future planting plans.

Also with the constant hunting and battles Jack or more specifically the kobold Jack is controlling is able to level up to level 1 which Jack immediately did during the feast in which he announced to gather more faith which was quite successful as his kobold visibly grew larger with the upgrade stunning the kobolds.

Jack continued on this day to day life for about 3 months(6hours in main world) in the divine realm seeing the first births and the obvious increase in strength and courage of the hunters.

With the females getting back to work helped the tribe increase productivity ,even if the females had to watch over the young. They had enough manpower to organize a few females to watch over the entire group of children.

With the additional tools hunting became easier and more successful with fewer casualties even if the tools were poor in quality.

Jack made sure never to overhunt a group of boars or rabbits since he wanted the groups to repopulate and informed the other kobolds of this so hopefully when he let the leader do his own thing he would consider not massacring the species threatening the growth of the tribe.

At the beginning of the second month once the hunters were better equipped he organized the females to start planting apple tree seeds in an organized format to make sure they didn't compete and restrain each other's growth.

Seeing the success of the tribe and effects of his ability he found what different amounts of faith did on his believers.

It seemed for lv0 kobolds 1 faith would increase their growth for 1 day and 10 faith would increase it for a month while 100 seems to be for a year with the decay of energy around the leader.

He guessed the faith would increase with increase in lv but he would have to wait for a new race to try out this theory.

Also 1000 faith he tested once he got enough was able to improve growth permanently it seemed on lv0 kobolds so he has been focusing on improving the growth of everyone permanently focusing on the hunters and the leaders wives.

He has successfully boosted the faith of two kobolds. One of which was the leader and thankfully before his upgrade as it probably would cost more and the buff stuck along with the upgrade. Jack guessed the buff integrated with the kobolds body during the lv up and also increased in intensity as if to keep up with the new level.

The other kobold buffed was the more dominant female who accompanied the leader to see if the child would be affected and their was a minor effect of speeding up birth and the birth was easier for her. Any effect on the child is to be seen especially since she was buffed late in her pregnancy.

Jack decided finally to leave the tribe alone as he couldn't make anymore significant improvements in the short term.

Exiting out of the log-in cabin and deciding to finally go to sleep after his taxing adventures.
